"My casserole is amazing! As an aspiring chef, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I'm 18 and this is one of my creations. Your family will love this dish for its melted cheese and soft potatoes. It's a good way to get calcium in your diet as well."

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large pot over high heat, place the potatoes with water to cover and bring to a boil. Let boil for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Add the milk, mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese.
Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes until almost smooth. Then beat in the eggs, drain the tuna and stir the tuna into the potato mixture. Then stir in the green onion, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer mixture to a lightly-greased 10-inch diameter glass pie dish and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

I used Chedder cheese in place of mozzarella, which I didn't have onhand. It was sooo good, such a nice break from plain old tuna casserole. My picky two year old even liked it! I also threw some "three cheese breadcrumbs" on top before baking.

I like to try new ideas that I find on the web. Unfortunately I was not to pleased with the flavor of this recipe. I do agree with a different kind of cheese and a lot more of it, there would have been a lot more taste.

Tuna? Potatos? What could be better than combining the two together. This was very good and really easy to make. I didn't have green onions on hand so I used French Fried Onions and it was really good. I will make this again but I think I might add a little cheddar in place of some of the mozzerella cheese next time. This one's a keeper.

I enjoyed this dish very much! I was looking for something to do with canned tuna, but not just another casserole because I'm not a big fan of baked pasta dishes. This turned out great! I did find the recipe difficult to work with, though, because of the some of the measurements used. I don't have a kitchen scale, so I had to estimate the amounts of potatoes and mozzarella (acutally, I used cheddar, like several other reviewers!). Another drawback to this dish is that it is quite time consuming to make. It was worth the time and effort, however! Thanks, Adriana!

I was excited to try this recipe...who could go wrong with tuna and potatoes... I found this to be very dry despite adding sour cream and extra cheese. However, the flavor was pretty good (I did add some mustard and spices as suggested by others) and my kids loved it. I'll probably play around with the recipe a bit to increase the moisture.

I wanted to try this recipe as a change from my famous tuna noodle casserole. After reading the other reviews, I decided to spice up this one by using sour cream instead of milk, adding a little butter and whipping cream, and sauteing both onions and carrots before adding them to the casserole. I also used just a dash of Morton's Nature's Seasons. Turned out great!

I didn't find this recipe as appetizing as I had hoped. It was almost like a shepard's pie. Alot of mashed potatoes and not enough spice. It was okay but not excellent. More cheese would have helped the flavor I believe.

after reading the reviews, i decided to use this recipe 'n changed it a bit. I used 2 chopped green onions (so the food looks better and it gives it a bit of a crunchy taste). I used one cup of mozerella and one cup of cheddar cheese. i added my own spices..salt, pepper and steak spices. My brother and my sister loves it. but i don't...beacuse i'm not a big fan of wet mooshy food.

I have been making this for years, and just looked up the recipe again because I am making it today. My changes: I use sweet onion that I dice and carmelize in butter first, use 50% more tuna, a mixture of jack and sharp chedder,a dash of cayenne, and double the parmesan. Delish!
